LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Tufts University's players were eliminated
from competition at the 2009 NCAA Division 3 Women's Tennis Singles
and Doubles Championships at Collins Hill Athletic Club outside of
Atlanta on Saturday.
In singles, three of the top four seeds fell on Saturday afternoon as
upstarts continued to clear a path towards Sunday's final. Number five
seed Lorne McManigle of Emory University sneaked past number four seed
Julia Browne (Old Brookville, NY) of Tufts, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (3) to
advance to the semifinals.
Browne, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association New England region
champion back in the fall, had opened with a win in Round of
32 action on Friday morning, easily dispatching of
Wisconsin-Whitewater's Kalla Schaefer by scores of 6-3 and 6-0. Moving into the Round of 16
on Friday afternoon, Browne went up against conference rival Grace Baljon
from Williams College and continued her fine play with a 6-4, 7-5
victory.
In a busy day for her on Friday, Browne then played in the first round of the
NCAA Doubles tournament with senior teammate Meghan McCooey (Cumberland, RI).
Seeded second in the doubles bracket, Browne and McCooey captured a very
tight match against Chapman University's Kelly Fox and Liz Lewis with 7-6
(5),
5-7, 7-6 (5) scores. However, on Saturday in the quarterfinals, Carnegie
Mellon's Laura Chen and Ashley Herrick bested Browne and McCooey, 1-6,
6-4, 6-3.
